The deadly attack on Asian workers at an Atlanta spa in 2021 was a watershed moment for many Asian Americans around the country.Now, a woman is working every day to change that.. “And I’ve done it by month. There are so many that I have to put them on separate months.”“So, here are videos and pictures of stabbings and murders,” Jang said. “And all across, Indians, Sikh, Bangladeshi, Korean.”“So, it’s a huge range of Asian Americans that are attacked,” she said.
“I am ethnically Japanese, Chinese, and Swedish,” Jang said. “And I’m culturally Japanese American. And I’m fourth-generation.” And yet, she says, she and millions of Asians with similar histories, are often still treated as though they just arrived. “Asian Americans, they feel, ‘should I talk to the police?’” she said. “So, when my dad got a death threat in Seattle. There’s three white guys, ‘I’m going to kill you. Get out of here.’”“And he called the police,” she said. “But they’re like, ‘What do you want us to do?’ In Seattle.”“It’s Brier, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park,” she said. “Bothell. Just in our little area, hate is everywhere.
